Hi everyone, I’m really excited today because I took delivery of my new car, a Fiat 500! Here are a couple of photos – it’s pretty cool, huh? Much to my husband’s disgust I’ve called it Valentino... he says that naming a car is such a girly thing to do…but people do it all the time with boats, so why should cars be any different? I’m driving it to Donington Park at the weekend to watch the Motocross de Nations, where it’ll probably get bogged down in the mud and will need to be towed out of the mire by a tractor! I’ll be cheering on the English guys Tommy Searle, Billy MacKenzie and Shaun Simpson (of course) as well as David Philippaerts, Manuel Monni and Alex Salvani… it should be a great day! It’s just a pity that Tony Cairoli is still injured!
